unreconstituted

Not yet reformed

Unreconstituted describes someone who maintains old beliefs or positions without modification, especially political or ideological ones that have fallen out of favor: an unreconstituted Marxist, an unreconstituted segregationist.

The term suggests stubbornness or defiance—refusing to adapt views to changing times.

It can be used critically or with grudging respect for principled consistency.
